lyrics
Who is sat on his couch when he gets home from school
“I won’t let you come round here anymore”
The man, he just stands, cracks his thumbs, grabs his tools
He slams the door, makes a point as he leaves
No words sprung to mind so the door slam would do
We fixed the raffle
Couldn’t take the hassle
We fixed the raffle again
The club was quite full when the car crashed outside
Some ran to the door or window
Others stayed sat in the seats where they sit every week
Should you make a move when there’s games to be played?
He stayed in his seat so the first that he heard
Was when he was home the next day, teletext
We fixed the raffle
Couldn’t take the hassle
We fixed the raffle again
I thought it would be fun to walk home one night
No one else around, complete peace
Just the sound of cars and passing motorbikes for hours
We fixed the raffle again
Finding the time for the things that make me happy
Finding the time for the things
